Jacket for a woman

[tnjyoung]

From the size of the zip, I'd say post-60s. Reminds me of some of the Jelado designs or a very toned-down East West jacket.

Interesting. I'm not sure what Jaledo or East West is, but I'm about to do a google search. The auction listed this jacket as a 60s Schott. Hopefully I wasn't scammed.

To refine my answer, large chunky zips come into play around the late-60s (I think it's '68-ish), and I would say, on the strength of your pic, that looks like a pretty solid-looking zipper. You should check Dinerman's 'Dating jackets by zipper' thread, it's really handy for this sort of thing. I also thought 70s on account of the larger collar.

Find me a male version of that thing and I'll buy it! I love it (though it probably looks better on a female, and I'd get a thinner zipper. But that zipper would look fine on a girl).

Very interesting and very similar. Here is a close shot of her zipper. at $100 bucks, surely we didn't go too off track.
